I agree, though, it's written really badly - especially because the original version had different damage values at levels 11 and 21 than the new version does. I'm not. Publishing new versions of books as often as they published errata would never work, and the game was stronger with regular errata than it was without it.

I'm not saying they should have republished the books every time (that would be ridiculous), but at least one new, errata'd release (say when Essentials hit) would have been really nice, since there's a lot of players out there that are unaware it even exists and some of the errata changes spells or game mechanics in pretty significant ways (for instance, Magic Missile is completely different post-errata than what's printed in the PHB).

They never did a power card for this, so I'm confused how I'm supposed to figure out that it's now 1d8 base instead of 2d10. Also, seriously, why the nerf? It's only useful every few fights, and the DM can easily just turn the power off by not using undead.

There seems to be some confusion going on here. Turn Undead still has the same base damage it did in PHB: 1d10, only instead of upgrading at levels 5, 11, 15, 21, and 25 (for a total of 6d10) it updates only at 11 and 21 (for a total of 3d10). It's the same in the Compendium, in Class Compendium series that updated old classes, and it's what the Errata implies. And it is also what my Character Builder lists, so I'm guessing that "1d8" damage thing must be a fault of some custom .part file being used.

There is not, the OCB requires registry entries to be entered in order to allow it to run. What I'd like to do is work with the guy that created the Edge of the Empire CB to redo the entire OCB, but I don't have the time or the inclination to do that right now (I'm bored of 4e). I realize the updates are still broken, however this should not prevent you from using the OCB at the moment, as long as you have everything installed. I'll continue to work on the site and let everyone know when its fixed, but I don't know when I'll get to take a look. Might be next week, might be next month.

If I copy all the part and index files from my OCB to another PC, even though the site is down at the moment. Would the new PC still install all the updates? This is to get another one going as a backup and also to practise in case this happens again or WoTC sends a C&D etc.

Yes, you should be able to install the OCB on another computer and copy all of the files that mod downloads using the same folder structure and have it work.

odd thing I have never noticed before in my builder - I have a cleric who does not have an implement - uses only weapon attacks. - recently added an implement power for testing and noticed that it tries to use my weapon as the implement for it. - it adds the Enhancement bonus for the weapon to the attack roll HAs the builder always displayed this way? I was recently trying to create a part file to make a few weapons count as implements as well (I did not modify the weapons i have tested this issue with). I am wondering if I somehow messed up my builder.

How does the CB determine primary ability mods for theme powers & such? Asking because I want to make a thing that substitutes primary ability mod for the normal mod for skill checks. Have a version of it working fine for now, but I have to manually tell it to sub in the stat and it'd be easier for multiple people in the party to use if it could just pull their primary mod on its own.

That probably has something to do with the way the parser works. It CAN convert that string into what it needs to be, but it's situational. Power blocks know what Primary Ability Modifier means, I'm not so sure feats or items do. It doesn't give you a value in items like the Thunderfist Ki Focus, for example. You may be better off just writing one for each primary, which it sounds like you have.

Now that I was looking around, I decided to whip up something for a friend of mine. Looks like some tweaks need to be made to the Draconic Resistance feature of the Honorable Blade paragon path. Firstly, you can't take Radiant if you have Radiant Breath (it seems like you should, at any rate), so here's a snippet to take care of that: code:code:Echophonic fucked around with this message at 00:27 on Sep 2, 2014 |

So yeah once again I took a look at this Spectator Beholder race and Eye Tyrant class someone on the WotC forums made. I have tried playing it once before, which required writing up the character sheet by hand, and was looking at rebuilding him at paragon, which would take even more work. Then I wistfully wished it was in the character builder. Then I thought, well maybe someone who knows how to make these part files would be kind enough to take that race, the class with its powers, the paragon path, and the feats on that page and make a part file, or series of part files, for CBLoader. Anyone up to it?

I've taken a look at this race/class, and... its pretty horrible really. But that being said, I have coded a beholder-type Its not the exact same powers and abilities as this terrible Beholder, but it does include a Beholder (and a Corgi, and a Skeleton, and a Phantom, and a Mimic, and a Pony (ugg), and a Kenku). No classes for those, but they do include Paragon Paths (I think, its been a while). Bother FuegoFish to see if he has backups of the Wiki somewhere if you want to see the text.
